The 2004 edition of Madden NFL Football includes several changes from the previous year. The new Playmaker Control allows players to quickly change, defensive coverage, and routes before and during the play.

Owner mode offers a deeper set of responsibilities such as relocating your team, setting stadium prices (for food, parking, etc.), and stadium building. In-game visuals have been enhanced with broadcast quality effects to create a smooth transition between on-field play and the play-calling interface. Featuring the series' most realistic player models to date, matching tattoos and hairstyles with real-life NFL players.
